I see more and more apps and services requiring a selfie to proceed.

What are our privacy minded people doing when they want to use a service but not provide the selfie?

    Because users need to be accountable for how they use their services, like hosting phishing websites, sending massive spam or scam campaigns. They would ask for a selfie, not stored, to match it with an ID.

    Not all hosting providers do ask for ID. A credit card is not enough to prove identity because you can use virtual anonymous ones.
